Which consequence results when an oscillating control valve causes periodic vapor bubble collapse in a hydroelectric turbine?

💡 Explanation

Material loss occurs because energy released during vapor bubble collapse in cavitation erosion creates intense, localized micro-jetting. Therefore, the blade erodes, rather than causing pressure surges because surge tanks protect against that.
